Showing titles in Ethics

Preacher and theologian John Piper has ambitiously operated his Desiring God Ministries to promote the Calvinist worldview. Piper seems very dedicated and determined, but does he advance a valid theology? Does Piper do more good or more harm? To answer this, this short audiobook critiques Piper's many videos and podcasts.

Es ist das brisante Thema unserer Zeit. Christen, die Kirche und die Bibel scheinen mit der modernen Haltung zur Homosexualität nicht im Einklang zu stehen. Und es gibt eine wachsende Feindseligkeit gegenüber denen, die die moderne Sicht nicht teilen. Ist Gott etwa homophob? Und was sagen wir zu Christen und Nichtchristen, die sich vom gleichen Geschlecht angezogen fühlen? Sam Allberry weiß, wovon er spricht. Mit diesem kurzen, leicht verständlichen Hörbuch möchte er verunsicherten Christen helfen zu verstehen, was Gott dazu in der Bibel gesagt hat.

In essence, the prophetic watchman is a multifaceted role that requires a unique combination of vigilance, discernment, courage, and faithfulness. These watchmen are not only observers but also protectors, intercessors, leaders, and guides. They stand in the gap, bridging the distance between God and His people, and ensuring that His will is communicated and fulfilled. Their role is one of immense responsibility, requiring a deep commitment to God and a willingness to sacrifice for the sake of others. The prophetic watchman is a vital part of the spiritual landscape, providing guidance, ...

The economic wisdom of the scriptures is critical in engaging the complex issues of families and New Zealand society in the global world. Ten principles of economics - love, productivity, creativity, cooperation, work and rest, simplicity, redistribution, management, ownership, freedom and celebration - are a basis for Economic Discipleship. These are applied to critical issues for Kiwis. How do we live in a debt-laden economy? What are principles of land rights and ownership? What are the ethics of government asset sales? How do the scriptural principles apply to the current TPPA trade ...

This book asks one of the oldest and most important questions in Christianity: is Jesus the Most High God, or is He the Son of the Most High? Drawing from Scripture, history, and honest debate, it unpacks why the Trinity formula of “three who’s and one what” leaves more confusion than clarity. Instead of leaning on broken analogies or later philosophical categories, it brings readers back to the Bible’s simple and consistent message: the Father is the one true God, and Jesus is His exalted Messiah. Written in a clear, down-to-earth style, it invites both seekers and believers to see...

What happens when we choose our way over God’s way? What blessings await when we walk in His truth? In Living in the Light of Truth, seasoned pastors Stuart and Paul Woodward draw from decades of ministry experience to show how God’s Word speaks directly to the issues we face today—money, sex, church life, family, identity, and more. With honesty, biblical clarity, and real-life stories, they explore the life-changing consequences of the choices we make in light of God’s truth. This is not just another theological book. It is a practical guide for everyday Christian living, written ...

These reflections are meditations about the Spiritual Dimension of Existence (SDE). The SDE Worldview assumption holds that all human beings possess God's Endowment: the Image of God. Each individual is a Created-Person with a vast library of spiritual characteristics, fashioned together in profound complexity and experienced in daily life and thought. Everyone at some stage of life will ask in wonder what lies beyond the Epistemic Horizon. Avoidance of ultimate questions concerning significance, meaning, belief, truth, knowledge, and value is not a live option. Suppressing the quest for ...

While the "Solid Ground" titles which were taken from the book "Solid Ground" discuss various aspects of biblical doctrine and why they are important, "Meat and Drink Issues" explore those differences among Christians that aren't really important, how we should handle those differences, and how we can tell the difference between what's important and what isn't.

Many, including those who profess the Christian faith, don't have a thorough understanding of what Jesus taught on certain issues. Many seem to think that Christianity supports racism, condones slavery and the oppression of women. I wrote this book to shed light on the truth about what Jesus taught and delve into the issues that affect our society today as much as it did 2,000 years ago.

Gut zu sein in einem tieferen Sinn ist die beste Therapie gegen innere Leere, Antriebslosigkeit und Depression. Es hält jung und gesund. Andersherum rächen sich böse Taten nicht erst im nächsten Leben, sondern bereits in diesem. Faszinierende neue Studien aus der Medizin und der Biologie belegen das. Doch wie erschließen wir diese Kraftquelle für uns? Wie werden wir zu den guten Menschen, für die wir uns vielleicht schon halten? Und was heißt es eigentlich, gut zu sein?

John Montgomery examines legal and ethical issues surrounding the questions of suicide and assisted suicide, the issues in health care: rights of the unborn, ethics in a changing health care system, and human dignity in birth and death: a question of values.

When Jesus spoke the words, “As in the days of Noah,” He provided a profound and sobering parallel between the time preceding His second coming and the antediluvian world that existed before the great flood. This phrase, found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, serves as a critical warning and a prophetic insight into the spiritual and moral state of humanity at the end of the age. It encapsulates a series of vivid and harrowing images that are meant to awaken and alert believers to the urgent need for vigilance, preparedness, and spiritual integrity. The days of Noah were ...

This treatise is the second installment of the Theological Threads series. This volume investigates how humans relate to nature. Specifically, it looks at how humans relate to wildlife in the United States. Two questions are answered: What is the human orientation to animals? and How should Christians treat wildlife? Taking a biblical approach to the issue, a logical argument is uncovered and extrapolated to the circumstances in contemporary U.S.

All kinds of abortions are performed worldwide in the name of "Therapeutic Abortion". This book takes a look at the so-called Therapeutic Abortion in a question-answer format. This is a popular level book for the layperson.

The history of nations is filled with cycles of blessing, rebellion, warning, and judgment. Scripture gives us Israel as the clearest example—a nation chosen by God, blessed above all peoples, yet repeatedly falling into idolatry, lawlessness, and moral corruption. Eventually, when the warnings of the prophets were despised and the law of the Lord cast aside, judgment came through war, famine, pestilence, and captivity. Today, the United States of America—founded with a profound reliance on the God of the Bible—appears to be repeating that same tragic pattern. The cultural shift, the ...

A parecer, la vieja interpretación de Génesis 1:26: “Entonces dijo Dios: Hagamos al hombre a nuestra imagen, conforme a nuestra semejanza; y señoree en los peces del mar, en las aves de los cielos, en las bestias, en toda la tierra, y en todo animal que se arrastra sobre la tierra (Génesis 1:26. RVR60)”, a la luz de herramientas hermenéuticas que se desentienden del prisma de la racionalidad moderna, no da cabida a considerar el señorear como excusa para vivir en un mundo en crisis como si esta no existiera, sino más bien para hacerse cargo de generar las soluciones. Y, he ahí ...

"Palabras que Sanan o Hieren" es una obra penetrante del renombrado teólogo puritano Thomas Watson, que explora el inmenso poder de nuestras palabras y cómo dominarlas para la gloria de Dios. Con su característica agudeza espiritual y sabiduría práctica, Watson revela cómo la lengua puede ser tanto un instrumento de gracia como un arma de destrucción.

Technological and societal change is all around us. What does the future hold? Trying to predict the future is difficult, but we can get a clue from the social and technological trends in our society. The chapters in this book provide a framework as Christians explore the uncharted territory in our world of technology and social change. Some of the questions that Anderson will answer are: What are the technological challenges of the 21st century? How should we think about the new philosophies like transhumanism? Should we be concerned about big data? What about our privacy in a world where ...

Economics affects our daily lives, and Christians need to think about how to apply biblical principles to money, investment, borrowing, and spending. They also need to understand the free enterprise system and know how to defend capitalism. Chapters in this book not only look at broad economic principles, but a section of the book is devoted to the challenges we face in the 21st century from globalization and tough economic times. A section of the book also provides an in-depth look at other important social and economic issues (gambling, welfare) that we face every day. Some questions that...

Mark 8:36 presents one of the most profound questions ever asked: “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” This inquiry, posed by Jesus Himself, encapsulates the great contrast between the temporal and the eternal. It forces one to consider the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits compared to the immeasurable worth of the soul. In an age that prioritizes success, wealth, and personal ambition, the truth behind this question remains as relevant today as it was when first spoken. The temporal world is marked by its constant change. Everything that ...
